Anyone have any idea how to run perl scripts in html? I want to create a
script that makes dynamic tables but I can't get it integraded with the html
code. I also have an existing perl script I want to implimanet  but can not
because of the problem I am having. Any help would be ...

there's been a discussion by Ivor Williams, Vadim Konovalov
and Slaven Rezic on this list about keeping a toplevel or main
window always on top of others. The solution was
     Win32::API->new("user32","SetWindowPos",[qw(N N N N N N N)],'N')->Call(hex($tl->frame()),-1,0,0,0,0,3);

Sorry Marc, but I couldn't get your code to work either. Can someone
look at this code and tell me why it works in one instance and not the
next?
This works.

I'm using Komodo GUI editor to make my perl guis. Now I just wondered,
if there are only 14 TK widgets and 6 perl widgets avail. This renders
Komodo's GUI editor useless. Any idea of other widgets to integrate to
Komodo?

    I haven't found much about redrawing listboxes at all. I need
to redraw a listbox from a bind event in another listbox. Listbox.pm
seems to have a method, but I can't figure it out.

Somewhat off-topic.
I've had a module called QuadTree.pm lying around for a couple of years
and now want to CPANify it. It basically implements a quadtree algorithm
and I initially implemented it to speed up some Canvas look-up

I have a DialogBox, which contains a Table with scrollbar which contains
about 100 different Entries.
Formerly, I did not use this Table, as there were less Entries and it
was very convenient, to just "tab" from one to the next widget using the

I have been reading up on Tk canvas and they mention binding and tags.
I am really confused at the explanation.  How would I create a square on
a canvas and move it left and right usings 2 buttons.

When the code below is executed, I would expect the Text widget to be green,
since that is what I specified as its -background.  But instead, its color
remains unchanged.  I am running Perl 5.8.4 on WinXP.  Any thoughts as to
why the color doesn't change is greatly appreciated.

All,
I'm looking for a package or code that implements saving and restoring a
canvas.   If it saved in an ASCII format, so much the better.
I've done a bit of searching, but I guess I can't find the right key

Because examples are the best way to learn new things IMHO,
and because i'm just curious what other people have made using pTk so far,
i'm looking for some tk-programs, made something with pTK ? don't hesitate
to tell me about it :)

Wondering if this error message is familiar to anyone of you:
unknown option "-class"bad state value "": must be normal or disabled

Hi, all,
is there a good code example or module which lets admin users edit
MySQL databases using Perl/Tk?
Sincerely

I'm looking for something similar to Tk::ExecuteCommand that would do
exactly what this module does except instead of running a command,
would run a portion of code.
I've searched the Groups, FAQ, and read through Mastering Perl/Tk but

Hello, all,
my Perl/Tk program delivers some "uncaught exception from user code"
error message when an error occurs within a "system()" statement. An
error number (such as 51456) is delivered.
